Solved Laptop not turning on/overheating overnight

Status
Not open for further replies.
When I go to turn my laptop on after it has been charging for a while it does not turn on. The screen is a dark grey rather than black, however. In order to have it turn on, I have to hold down my power button for around 10 seconds. It then turns on and acts normally. Every time this has happened I have had at least 70% charge. I shut my laptop off when charging.

My laptop also overheats during the night when not in use. Last night for example, my laptop fan woke me up at 4:00 am. I checked on my laptop and it was very hot. I had shut it off before bed so no idea why It would be running in the first place.

I have an Asus vivobook flip. My battery health is at about 90%.

Any help is appreciated :)
 
Are you running Windows 10 ? If Yes then most likely the laptop is not shutting down completely - It is part of what windows calls fast boot
You can perform a full shut down by pressing and holding the Shift key on your keyboard while you click the “Shut Down” option in Windows.
